This class will cover basic skills relating to acting on camera. Students will leave with experience auditioning, a solid understanding of how a set is run, what to expect when auditioning or attending a callback, and auditioning for roles that best suit them. The class will be a mixture of lecture style information from me, as well as presenting from the individual students. We will also have lots of discussion time! There will be a fair amount of work to do outside of our class time each week.
